Shocking the boxing world, WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has announced his retirement from the sport.
After withdrawing from his November 12 WBC title fight against Hasim Rahman due to a reported knee injury, Klitschko has now announced his retirement from boxing, sending his WBC title into the hands of Hasim Rahman and Don King, giving King complete control of all four pieces of the fragmented heavyweight crown once again.
3 months ago in my article, Don King vs. Vitali Klitschko: The Real Superfight, I spoke of Don King’s battle to once again control the heavyweight division should Vitali Klitschko lose to Hasim Rahman or eventually be stripped of his title for not fighting Rahman. This ending has now come to pass but through a slightly different turn of events. But the result is yet the same: Don King will now controls the heavyweight crown again.
It has not yet been officially announced by the WBC, but Klitschko’s title will undoubtedly end up in Rahman’s hands. Don King has been aggressively lobbying with the WBC to strip Klitschko of his title since Vitali pulled out of the fight this past Saturday. Rahman is already jubilantly celebrating his “victory.” [details]
